Bug Description
I have one sort of typical problem, and one very strange problem, both related to the audio.
First the typical one, because, clearly, the strange one is the headlining act here.
Typical kind of problem: My system keeps changing from audio line out, to hdmi out as the default choice, and I have to keep moving it back by hand from systemsettings. It seems to be related to squeezelite, but am not sure.
Strange problem: After updating to 16.04, my microphone transmits only a strange, helium inflected cartoon voice when I speak. This strange transmission works with arecord or ffmpeg from command line, and with skype testing service. The latter convinces me that it is not a recording issue, but really a sound capture issue. Pulseaudio will not allow me to select my external microphone jack, though there is a microphone plugged in. It appears to use my webcam (logitech C310) mic. There was no such problem last week under 14.04. I cannot think of any other tests to perform. If it were allowed, I would upload a short recording of my voice, primarily for your amusement.
A few details:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
